The principle
Travel posters sell a place through atmosphere, not facts. Classic examples used simplified landscapes, bold colour and confident type. Inventing a city frees you from clichés and lets you design a whole world: its climate, culture, architecture and personality.
Objective. Build a complete visual world for an invented place.
The brief
Invent a city — its name, climate and one defining feature — and design a travel poster inviting people to visit.
Constraints
- Write a short description of the city first
- The poster must suggest climate and culture
- Maximum five colours
You're done when
- A vivid, invented world
- A clear invitation to visit
- A cohesive palette and style
Stretch goal
Design a second poster showing the same city at night.
